FIRST EDITION in rust illustrated cloth, frontis. + 10 illus. (listed), 278pp. O'Keefe #1456. Very Good- with some spotting on cover. Chief Buffalo Child Long Lance (1890-1932), born Sylvester Clark Long, was a man of African American and Native American descent who achieved prominence as a writer, journalist, and actor. He famously reinvented himself as a Blackfoot Indian, claiming the identity of Chief Buffalo Child Long Lance. This autobiography, "Long Lance," published in 1928, detailed his purported Native American heritage and experiences, however, his true background was later exposed, leading to scandal and personal downfall. When the book was exposed as a fraud - entirely invented by the author - the negative publicity tragically drove him to suidide in 1932. A unique book in the Custeriana field.
